For treatment of mandibular condyle fracture, this article introduces the surgical protocol of intraoral reinsertion after extracorporeal fixation. This efficient, anatomically acceptable, extraoral scar-free, and relatively uncomplicated approach for condylar fracture can be compared with conventional extraoral fixation through various approaches. Clinical step-by-step procedures with a scientific basis were described in this technical strategy note.

본 연구는 체외 충격파 치료를 이용하여 신경 손상 흰쥐의 신경재생에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 본 연구에서는 체중이 230~280g고 생후 6주의 Sprague-Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐 30마리를 사용하였다. 무작위 추출방법을 이용하여 좌골신경 손상 후 체외 충격파 치료를 받는 실험군(n=15)과 좌골신경 손상 후 체외 충격파 치료를 받지 않는 대조군(n=15)으로 나누어 실험을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 체외충격파 치료를 적용하기 위해서 체외 충격파 치료기(OPTIMUS, SALUS TALENT 3, Korea)를 이용하였으며 낮은 출력(low intensity)을 이용하여 오른쪽 후지의 좌골신경 압좌 부위에 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 다트피쉬 소프트웨어를 이용하여 환측 후지의 입각기 시간과 보폭거리를 측정하였다. 환측 후지의 입각기 시간과 보폭거리의 그룹 간 변화량 비교에서 체외 충격파 치료를 적용한 실험군과 체외 충격파 치료를 적용하지 않은 대조군 사이에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결론적으로 체외 충격파 치료는 신경재생에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다.

This study used both kinesiotaping and extracorporeal shock wave therapy on patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder - a common musculoskeletal disorder in adults - in order to observe the effects on the joint range of motion. 21 adult(male 12, female 9) were selected and distributed into randomized groups. One group received kinesiotaping (n=10) and the other group received kinesiotaping together with extracorporeal shockwave therapy (n=11). After a 6 week duration of receiving kinesiotaping and extracorporeal shockwave therapy, changes in the joint range of motion in the patients were observed. Post-treatment of frozen shoulder, the changes in abduction within the shoulder joint were as follows: in both groups there was a noticeable increase in the joint range of motion (p<.05). Post-treatment of frozen shoulder, the changes in external rotation within the shoulder joint were as follows: both groups showed a significant increase in the joint range of motion (p<.05). The result of suggest that, it can be inferred that both the extracorporeal shockwave therapy and kinesiotaping are effective in increasing the joint range of motion in patients with frozen shoulder.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review the evidence comparing the efficacy and safety between L-carnitine and extracorporeal elimination therapy in the management of acute valproic acid L-carnitine vs Extracorporeal Elimination for Acute Valproic acid Intoxication Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, KoreaMed, KMbase, and KISS were searched, using the terms carnitine and valproic acid. All studies, regardless of design, reporting efficacy or safety endpoints were included. Reference citations from identified publications were reviewed. Both English and Korean languages were included. Two authors extracted primary data elements including poisoning severity, presenting features, clinical management, and outcomes. Results: Thirty two articles including 33 cases were identified. Poisoning severity was classified as 3 mild, 11 moderate, and 19 severe cases. Nine cases were treated with L-carnitine while 24 cases received extracorporeal therapy without L-carnitine. All patients except one expired patient treated with hemodialysis recovered clinically and no adverse effects were noted. A case report comparing two patients who ingested the same amount of valproic acid showed increased ICU stay (3 vs 11 days) in case of delayed extracorporeal therapy. Conclusion: Published evidence comparing L-carnitine with extracorporeal therapy is limited. Based on the available evidence, it is reasonable to consider L-carnitine for patients with acute valproic acid overdose. In case of severe poisoning, extracorporeal therapy would also be considered in the early phase of treatment.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to report the outcomes of patients treated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for refractory plantar fasciitis of the foot. Materials and Methods: From November 2005 to October 2006, a total of sixty-two patients with refractory plantar fasciitis were treated with extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The main outcome measurements were visual analogue scale (VAS) and Roles and Maudsley score evaluated before treatment and at one and six months after treatment. Results: Roles and Maudsley score was excellent (0%), good (6.4%), fair (35.4%) and poor (58.2%) before treatment which improved to excellent (56.5%), good (38.7%), fair (4.8%) and poor (0%) at final follow-up. VAS scores also significantly improved after ESWT (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation between clinical results and body mass index (BMI) (p=0.102). Conclusion: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy appears to be an effective and safe treatment modality for refractory plantar fasciitis and may help the patient to avoid surgery for refractory heel pain.

Treatment of human calculi by extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy(ESWL) was introduced for kidney stones in 1980. This technology was then applied to the treatment of bile duct stones and pancreatic stones. Some reports have also shown that disintegration of pancreatic stones by extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy is possible with successful subsequent endoscopic extraction of the fragments at home ana abroad. We tried removal of pancreatic calcification stones by endoscopic procedures, but could't be removed because the basket got entagled in the endoscopy. We report one case of this pancreatic calcification stones ; the stones were successfully fragmented and completely removal by extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy.

We report on the application of a venovenous type extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) in high-risk tracheal procedures in six cases consisting of five patients with tracheal stenosis. An ECMO should be helpful for preventing respiratory emergency during a tracheal procedure.

Pulmonary edema and respiratory failure is uncommon but fatal complications associated with major operations of the lung, especially after pneumonectomy. The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation[ECMO] is quite often used in infants with severe respiratory failure and congenital heart disease which is well documented in the literature. In adults, the results of ECMO is comparatively poor to those found in neonates. We have experienced a case of ECMO applied on a 48 year old male who had respiratory failure after pneumonectomy, and the patient was successfully weaned from bypass. Unfortunately however, the patient expired on postoperative 15 day due to multiorgan failure.

Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a rare catecholamine-producing tumor with the incidence in hypertension of 0.1-0.6%. PCC crisis is an endocrine emergency that can lead to hemodynamic disturbance and organ failure such as catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy. The circulatory collapse caused by it often requires mechanical support. The author reports an unusual case in which a patient who previously underwent surgery for malignant PCC developed catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy, and successfully recovered using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

The ECMO system, including umbilical cord and membrane type oxygenator was connected with extracorporeal circulation unit, was applied to the fetus growth model of goat. The maximum survival time of goat fetus was 48 hours. Average blood rate for the extracorporeal circulation was $223{\pm}15.2 ml/min.$ The survival time of fetus was deeply related to body temperature, blood circulation and water temperature, anesthetized time, and fetus weights. Extern variables that are composed of anesthetized time, fetus weights, change of hemoglobin, circuit pressure, related to the survival time for fetus corrected the problem of previous ECMO model that is controlled by roller pump. It is directly delivered to heart on load. Applying the results from new ECMO model, further research will provide to the system of ECMO for human.
